There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.
During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)
EDIT: timestamped link: https://youtu.be/bGr3dTK9oAU?si=hJerQLcEG02Mq6U5&t=1135
gestures passionately "Download Lemmy!"
I'm feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.
I am 35, you're classified
The Lemmy energy is strong here.
The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.
It's also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there's enough people to discuss "anime" or "games", but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.
That'll get better in time too, I believe.

Year of the lemmy desktop
It's happening!
"Stay cool, stay cool!"
"Smile and wave boys, just smile and wave."
Did you know you can embed images on Lemmy using the markdown

You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.
I'm convinced someone on LTT's team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title "u/spez endorses lemmy".
You left your SI in the link
What is an si (I presume session id)?
And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?
I understand that these are query strings, but who decides which keys are there and what they mean? And if they depend completely on the server's implementation, then how do you know what the "si" key means, except from experience?
Thanks in advance.
It's an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you're talking with on other websites.
I went, "Ooh! That's some ingenuity!" and , both at the same time.
Wasting the ingenuity for this stuff.
We did it Lemmy
@Vittelius@feddit.org dude you're famous now
Also: this is the way.
put me in the screenshot!
and me!
I wish reddit a very merry "Going the way of Myspace and Ebaumsworld"
Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

You know how people will repost screenshots of tweets or whatever? The other day I saw a screenshot of a Mastodon post on Instagram.

Fuck yeah, the most wholesome gaming community, no less.
I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
It’s like we need a DOI system for lemmy posts.
When I use a website as a source, at the time that I access it for information, I will also save a snapshot of it in the Wayback Machine. Ofc theres no guarantee that the Internet Archive will be able to survive, but the likelihood of that is probably far greater than some random website. So, if the link dies, one can still see it in the Wayback Machine. This also has the added benefit of locking in time what the source looked like when it was accessed (assuming one timestamps when they access the source when they cite it).
That's unfortunately just how the internet is/works. It's all links and links to each other. Check out https://archive.is and https://archive.ph - Maybe we can build a decentralized archive thing based on IPFS or something
Link to segment. And, no, not only didn't Liechtenstein not cross the threshold they're not even in the EU they can't vote.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We're movin'!
Well done, that's so awesome to see.
true
I already don't own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.
Mama we made it
Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he's just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.
LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying...
He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.
My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn't properly test a product for a video):
I don't know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people's time.
Didn't he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn't make for a good boss.

did LTT ever actually fix that issue where they stole somebody's prototype after trashing it in a review where they tested it on the wrong thing? I had a weird vibe about Linus before that, and just wrote him off after
